MuseScore file sync'd to a YouTube recording - not working on iPhone?

Can anyone help me to understand how to sync a MuseScore file to a YouTube link so that it plays back correctly on mobile phones as well on Windows PC?

Background: the recording uploaded to YouTube is my own copyright from a private recording session. The source sound file was in MP3 format and was combined with images to make an MP4 file which I uploaded to YouTube.

I just created an HTML page with an embedded MuseScore for the score playback, and it plays the default YouTube performance recording just fine on my Windows 10 laptop. But when trying to play that same web page on an iPhone, the playback is a generated MP3 file (not the performance on YouTube). And on my old Android phone, it won't play at all.

Based on the number of times I've seen stuff in scores' descriptions along the lines of "Mobile users, use this YouTube link", this has likely been a problem for a long time, and it may be too much to ask, especially for older mobile browsers and operating systems.

Do you know how to add YouTube audio sources with the "Add Audio Source" page on the three-dots menu, or are do you have a specific problem with mobiles?

@DanielR this seems to work (sound) just fine on my Android mobile, in Chrome.

Thank you all for the comments.
@Dekkadeci - you're right about older mobile browsers not working. A quick test shows that Android 4.3 doesn't work with Chrome, but Android 7.0 works fine. I don't have access to a new iPhone right now, but the old iOS 10.3.3 does not work.
@BSG - I am familiar with how to add a YouTube source, and how to make it the default sound source. My question referred only to mobile phones i.e. whether it's possible to play a MuseScore file embedded in an HTML page with the mobile's browser.
@Jojo-Schmitz - is your Android version older or newer that 7.0? Just to try and tie down this problem more precisely...
